Usage notes

  • Use museo for a museum building or institution; galleria often means an art gallery, not a general museum.
  • With a + il, say al museo: Vado al museo. Learners often incorrectly keep the article separate.
  • Usually masculine singular: il museo, i musei. The plural is irregular, not *museos or *musei with changed stress.
